History
“North Dakota has had a rich history of operating ferries to cross the Missouri and Red Rivers. The ferries were used to transport people, cattle, horses, supplies, agricultural products, cars, trucks, and even trains. The review of the historical society records concluded that there were over 30 ferries that operated in North Dakota from the mid-1800s until the mid-1900’s and were typically replaced with bridges.” - Lake Sakakawea Ferry Crossing Feasibility Study.
